Summary

Lists Obsidian frontmatter properties, optionally filtered by property name, in YAML, JSON, or TSV format. The node sends the command through the configured Obsidian API service and returns its standard output as content.

Inputs

  • Name — Optional frontmatter property name to filter the list, such as tags or date.
  • Format — Output format: YAML (default), JSON, or TSV.
  • Additional Fields → Timeout Seconds — Command timeout in seconds; defaults to 60.
  • Additional Fields → Vault — Optional vault name or path, overriding the credential's default vault.

Output shape

A list of n8n items, one per input item, each containing a content string with the command's standard output.

Nonempty stderr and a timeout flag are included as stderr and timed_out. A nonzero CLI exit code raises an error unless Continue On Fail is enabled.

Examples

Example 1: List all properties

Leave Name blank and use YAML format, or choose JSON or TSV.

Example 2: Filter properties by name

Set Name to a frontmatter property such as tags.
